Mosaic Indian Corn Fall Craft

We had so much fun making Mosaic Crafts with pumpkin seeds, check out our Mosaic Pumpkin Craft here. This is a craft that we came up with when Isabella was younger. It was a great craft to explore textures and use sensory and fine motor skills while being creative. Here is a photo from when Isabella was younger working on an Indian Corn mosaic of her very own.

What you will need:

You most likely have all the supplies you need already in your home, if you don’t, a quick run to your local drugstore or office supply store should be able to supply you with all that you need, however, I have included affiliate links to Amazon where you can purchase everything you will need.

What to do:

First, scoop out, clean, wash and dry your pumpkin seeds. We threw them into the oven for a few minutes to dry completely.
While your seeds are drying print out the template on a piece of cardstock or paper. (Cardstock is just more stable than paper but paper still works.) You can make your own template if you like.
Next, paint your seeds. Since we are making an Indian Corn we want a nice variety of shades of yellow, white, brown and even red. Since we will have the husks still on the corn we are going to also make sure we have a nice amount of green seeds as well.
Place the painted seeds onto a piece of cardboard or newspaper to dry.
Once they are completely dried, glue the painted seeds onto the template.
Get creative, use a variety of shades and colors, every corn is unique.
Once all your seeds are glued down, let them dry.
Once they are all dried you can paint on a layer of Mod Podge over the seeds so they can last longer and they will also be shinny!
